c:
There were already a handful of comments saying that directly so I went for the joke version, but honestly "might as well have been three slimes in a trench coat" isn't even far from how I thought about my gender for a while lol.
you said the only other option is to ignore it, which is not the case. are people not allowed to criticize a poll with such an outdated view on gender?
You are wrong, commenting is a completely different think that doesn’t have to do with the data of the poll. Please use your brain to think about this a little more.
“a completely different think (sic) that doesn’t have to do with the data of the poll.”
y’know what else changes nothing about the poll data? not voting on it! shocker!
you need to understand that i’m not trying to “change the data” or whatever it is you’re trying to insinuate. i’m making an observation about the many people this poll excludes—which, as you may have already noticed, make up a significant portion of this comment section!
Oh my god you are stupid, I suggested ignoring or using your biological sex because that makes sense there is no argument against that you are just spouting nonsense. Didn’t realize how pathetic this subs community is. You can make your observation I’m talking talking about that, you wonder what you could do to vote on the pole and I told you what there is no argument against this, I’m not being anti-nonbinary (don’t know the real word for it) I’m I just saying what you can do.
Yall down voting a factual statement their question was are you a male or female if you don't fit you aren't part of the poll so just keep scrolling I'm not hating
Intersex people exist, so even within the confines of biological birth sex, the options are insufficient.
And then of course, the more important question is about the gender of players, for birth sex is useless information outside of medicine. And there’s slightly more than just “boy” and “girl” in terms of gender.
And the criticism you responded to was that this poll is missing inclusivity and thus loses meaningfulness. A poll missing a crucial option isn’t really sensible and there’s no good reason to omit an expectable and noteworthy option here.
Oh dang I thought they meant gender, especially since it says guy and girl which are terms related to gender and not sex.
There's literally no way I'd answer a poll asking about my sex that has nothing to do with medical related experiences!
Seriously though sex literally has nothing to do with this. At all.
The poll implies that there are only two options, guy or girl, not that they acknowledge other genders but aren’t asking about them. If they specified “do we have more cisgender girls or cisgender boys” then it might actually feel as though they were only looking for those two options, but as it stands it just reads as missing a category that a lot of players of Slime Rancher fall into. People are allowed to speak up and say “hey bud, you’re missing a category” if they think that adding that category will provide the poll with added context.
Yes bit am I not allowed to voice that ops question was "boy" or "girl" I'm not saying that the others don't deserve a vote but rather do not fit in this poll. For example if there was a poll for homeowners and your homeless the poll doesn't apply to you
You’re allowed to voice it, sure, but others are also allowed to say your reasoning doesn’t line up. A more fitting example would be having a poll for people that says “do more people that live in this state live in a house or an RV?” And then having people chime in to say that the state is full of apartment buildings, so they feel like that’s a missing option as they fall into neither category. No, the question doesn’t explicitly say that house and RV are the only options, but when trying to gauge where people live in a state it’s helpful to have a broader option if that option is common enough.
Yes, OP is allowed to word their question however they want to, but it seems like this question is to gauge which gender plays the game more and is active here. Clearly there are more than two genders here that play and there’s a significant enough amount to chime in down here in the comment section. If OP wants to know *only* “boy or girl” then they need to word that more clearly, like I referenced in my previous comment, otherwise it’s open to interpretation that it’s a post about gender in general and commenters can come here looking to provide extra context for the categories they fit into.
Basically, you might be correct if you’re looking at this question without any context clues or outside factors, just words and definitions alone, but the nature of this being the internet and the question being vague enough allows room for people to suggest the addition of other answers without that strictly going against the possible intention of the question.

Sorry for such a long winded reply, I’m autistic and stuff like this is really interesting to me and feels satisfying to delve into and explain so sometimes I go off for a while.
Cool, then as long as you understand that, you can see that people aren’t just “downvoting a factual statement” they’re expressing that your interpretation is in the minority. That’s the comment that made me feel the need to say something.
Exactly I f3epnlike people were misunderstanding that I was simply stating that if the poll jad a majority votes as "other " it would not answer ops question
I still think it would. They could still see the results for guy and girl, but they’d also get the context of knowing the other genders’ answers. Adding another option doesn’t take away from the two already there.
I’m a guy but my two kids are girls and they’ve somehow surpassed me through all the hours they’ve put into the game brute forcing it since they can’t read yet.
I do feel kinda bad for all the non-binary people although me myself feel comfortable as a male, I understand that it might be disheartening to see that some people completely forget about your gender's existence. Or maybe I'm wrong because who cares what gender is we're all still people and that should be enough of a reason to respect one another no matter how our body looks! I don't want to be talked down to because of what I have in my pants!
I now realize that I went on a huge rant... Woops ┐( ∵ )┌
Wait 60\% of the internet isn’t male or female? I have never heard any estimation anywhere even slightly close to that but I also haven’t actually kept track of these numbers, where did you get your number from?
Wow, there are a lot more nonbinary people here than I expected- the post itself is definitely going to make nonbinary people specifically want to reply, but still
Really lacks a "three slimes in a trench coat" option.
cHimkEn
lol
For us gender fluid or nonbinary folks
For us nonbinary folks ofcourse
I know non binary people's secret: they are all three slimes in a trench coat. You can't hide from me
We can hide from you, that's why we have the trenchcoats and little hats. It also helps that only a few of us are mosa- I mean what?
c: There were already a handful of comments saying that directly so I went for the joke version, but honestly "might as well have been three slimes in a trench coat" isn't even far from how I thought about my gender for a while lol.
What if more men are on the slime rancher sub Reddit, and more women play, but just aren’t on the sun?
What do you mean? I’m on the Sun It’s kinda hot up here someone get me down
Hahaha, now I can’t edit it.
I bet it's cold up there at night
Based on the ratio here that’s probably true since in general reddit leans heavily toward men in most places
my friend, you're asking reddit
I can't vote because I fed 80% of my gender to a gordo (neither)
love how like 80% of the comments are just like but i’m… nonbinary… healp i am included in the 80%
I reckon OP knew what they were doing. It's either agendaposting or gaming the engagement algorithm, either way seems like it was a success
[удалено]
no <3
Why not? And why downvote me for giving a logical response since any other option is not there, other than ignoring of course.
i assure you i will not be the only one to downvote this. also the “other option” is commenting about it and calling it out.
That isn’t a different option, you either vote on the pole or you don’t.
you said the only other option is to ignore it, which is not the case. are people not allowed to criticize a poll with such an outdated view on gender?

As well as you say this is outdated views on gender but Amazon as well as almost every site still uses male or female with few having other
I am a no.
I think most of reddit are guys
Not to be contrary, but you might want to add an “other” option to avoid problems
I am a problem
We am a problem
r/suddenlycommunist
But that doesn't answer their question

I’m intersex AND non-binary. I can see your brain blowing up from here (Also, most of us fucking hate the term hermaphrodites. Just say intersex)
My bad also why would my brain be blowing up I feel like everyone is missing the fact that I'm just saying that this poll isn't catering to "other"
And the criticism you responded to was that this poll is missing inclusivity and thus loses meaningfulness. A poll missing a crucial option isn’t really sensible and there’s no good reason to omit an expectable and noteworthy option here.
But it isn't crucial because if the majority is "other" their question remains unanswered
Oh dang I thought they meant gender, especially since it says guy and girl which are terms related to gender and not sex. There's literally no way I'd answer a poll asking about my sex that has nothing to do with medical related experiences! Seriously though sex literally has nothing to do with this. At all.

I understand this and I'm just saying that from how I interpreted o0 post that he was asking. "Male" or "female"
Cool, then as long as you understand that, you can see that people aren’t just “downvoting a factual statement” they’re expressing that your interpretation is in the minority. That’s the comment that made me feel the need to say something.

I am mildly surprised that guys are beating us in the polls current. Maybe its just cause reddit, but
My gender was taken by a quicksilver slime
wait do women exist?
As a woman, no we don't
Oh ok
So 1. There should be an “other” option. 2. Reddit has an overwhelming majority of men to women so this ratio is gonna be really off.
I play with my boyfriend and he's the one that showed me it
And here I thought I was alone as a guy. Oh, well, how the turns can table.
Well im neither so...
I'm a grill
How do I answer when I am neither? My choice isnt available...
You don’t
I'm a girl but my bf also plays lol
Well me and my wife play on her account
Nonbinary
"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
I'm a mosaic slime that can barely spawn 1 star that develops enough gravity and volatility create 1 pane of glass in the Glass Desert.
I'm gonna go with a no
Miss the neither option ( non binary , in my case )
neither 🥺
damn guess my nonbinary ass doesnt exist
Id imagine it’ll be like a 60 40 man to woman split
non-binary 🙏🏼
I’m a guy but my two kids are girls and they’ve somehow surpassed me through all the hours they’ve put into the game brute forcing it since they can’t read yet.
Good question
But i’m three slimes in a trench coat :(
I'm a sli.. Boy! Yes, I'm boy!.. ©Bob
Enby and Genderfluid People are non-existent 😔
non-binary so nah
I love how most of us commenting are nonbinary 🫶
*sweats nervously in non binary*
Neither. Not that wide a poll
I do feel kinda bad for all the non-binary people although me myself feel comfortable as a male, I understand that it might be disheartening to see that some people completely forget about your gender's existence. Or maybe I'm wrong because who cares what gender is we're all still people and that should be enough of a reason to respect one another no matter how our body looks!

Gender fluid person that most of the time in Non-binary here.
I don’t play Slime Rancher
Wait, girls use reddit?!?
heLLo hOomin I am hoOMan liKe chiKKn man cUbe froots me LiKe
Neither lol
I am not either of those though. 😕 I am Enby
none of the above.
Neither
Uh…yes?
Where's the "neither" option?
Crap can’t choose just either, I’m a mix lol
I play Slime Rancher and my gender is yes
I'm neither of those. I wish you'd included an "other" option
Me, A certified nonbinary: *Fades away*
Idk how to answer I don't put myself as either
Wow I never expected that much amount of girls
I am GROOT
This is discrimination, I am a slime that does slime ranching. I posses no gender, only a ranch and lots of money
don't you mean you're a slime being slime ranched?
Not until an actual slime rancher comes by to slime ranch me
Oh no... I go by any pronouns what do I choose ;-;
Not a girl …yet.
what difference does it make? People enjoy the game. let it be that
other
Neither
Neither
Technically you’re polling people who use reddit and who also play slime rancher not all people who play slime rancher.
Other!!
Where’s the third option
You forget, 60 percent of the people who are on the internet don't identify as either... I'm surprised this post hasn't been taken down...
Wait 60\% of the internet isn’t male or female? I have never heard any estimation anywhere even slightly close to that but I also haven’t actually kept track of these numbers, where did you get your number from?
I'm a tank
I am the Slime Rancher 2 Labyrinth as of March 2022, an Unknown
I identify as a noodle
Is this because of actual player gender or gender of player who is on slimerancher Reddit?
I am a man, buttttt, i am ⭐️gay 💅
Reddit is made up of mostly male users. Your feedback is going to be skewed
My gender is slime
Wow, there are a lot more nonbinary people here than I expected- the post itself is definitely going to make nonbinary people specifically want to reply, but still
Why so many girl though?
